Kettlebell One-Arm Overhead Squat
The overhead squat with one kettlebell locked out in one hand; the uneven load makes the trunk fight to stay square.
How to do it
Setup
One kettlebell locked out overhead, the free arm out to the side, feet shoulder-width.
Steps
- Squat down with the bell stacked over the shoulder.
- Keep the elbow locked and the eyes forward.
- Stand up without letting the bell drift.
Common mistakes
Bell drifting in front of the face: stop higher and press up into it. Torso leaning away from the bell: stay square to the front. Elbow softening at depth: lighter bell.
Breathing
Big breath at the top, exhale past the sticking point.
